1 5 plain talk
2 it s our time... Historically, the term Indian first appeared in a letter written by Christopher Columbus in Columbus, believing he had reached India, refers to the Indios he discovered. Although this was a mistake, the label has been passed down to the present day. has been described, justifiably, as archaic, outdated, colonial, racist, paternalist, and repressive. Shockingly, it is still in effect today! Historically, control over First Nations was a British responsibility that passed to Canada after Confederation. As the fur trade ended, First Nations peoples were increasingly seen as a barrier to Government plans for the settlement of western Canada. The Government called it the Indian problem. The Government responded to this problem by creating the Indian Act in is a legal document and a set of laws that gave the Government complete control over the lives of Indian peoples. There were two objectives: 1. Control over First Nations peoples. 2. Assimilation. A famous statement in 1920 by Duncan Campbell Scott, poet, essayist, and Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, stated the prevailing attitude of his day: Our object is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic, and there is no Indian question, and no Indian department. established rules that dictated who was Indian (status) and who was not (nonstatus). According to the Act, First Nations people (Indians) were deemed not to be people. Right up until 1951, the definition of a person was defined in the statute as an individual other than an Indian. The Act did provide that Indians could become persons by voluntarily enfranchising 66

Ceremonies like the potlatch and the Sun Dance that had been practiced for thousands of years were outlawed and forbidden. Period. In 1914 the Act barred the wearing of Aboriginal costume in any dance, show, exhibition, stampede or pageant. Unless the Minister approved. The possession of totem poles, grave houses, or even a rock embellished with paintings or carvings was forbidden. Unless the Minister approved. People were not permitted to move about freely. They could be jailed or fined if, for example, they were deemed to linger in pool halls. The authority of the Crown even extended to an individual s Last Will and Testament. A Will could be declared to be void if, in the opinion of the authorities, it was deemed to be unsuitable, or inequitable, or inferior, or unsound, or invalid, or anything at all. created Residential Schools and forced a new form of education on First Nations peoples. The decades long strategy of 130 government-funded Residential Schools was to kill the Indian in the child. Under the Act, more than 150,000 children were legally shipped off to institutions where they would have their hair cut, their language killed, their relationships with family and community severed, their sense of belonging destroyed, and their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health compromised. The Act did provide in minute detail for punishment and consequences. For example when deemed to be Truant, the child could be apprehended and conveyed to school, using as much force as the circumstances require. The Act did not provide for love, support, respect, and caring. The last of the Residential Schools did not close until Today, there are an estimated 80,000 former students still living and the catastrophic impacts of the Residential Schools have been, and will continue to be, felt for generations. See Plain Talk 6, Residential Schools. did not allow First Nations people to own land. Over time, measures originally intended to protect the land base were changed to open up reserve lands for farming, settlement, and other purposes by non-first Nations people. The Act set down whether and how land should be cultivated or not cultivated, and whether and how 67
4 it s our time... people could buy and sell livestock. It decreed whether and where and how roads should be built and maintained, and where the roads should go, and how fast or slow people could travel on these roads, and even where they could park. Treaty provisions that permitted the federal government to take up reserve lands for public works of Canada were modified in the Act to allow companies with the power to extract resources to exercise them on reserve. When First Nations people complained of administrative abuses and began to push their claims of Aboriginal title in non-treaty areas or in areas that were seen as traditional lands, the Act was amended to make it an offence to retain a lawyer for the purpose of advancing a claim. Not surprisingly, the land base was reduced, often in return for nominal consideration or no consideration. A 1927 amendment required anyone who solicits funds for Indian legal claims to obtain a license from the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs. This severely limited the ability of First Nations to pursue land claims through the courts. A major overhaul of the Indian Act in 1951 did see many of these restrictions struck down. did not allow First Nations people to vote in a federal election until Even though for centuries, First Nations people had capably established their own systems of government and managed their own societies and communities, under the Indian Act, First Nations people were not permitted to vote in federal elections. This ban continued until ! They could not sit on juries, and they were exempt from conscription in time of war. However, it should be noted that the percentage of volunteers was higher among First Nations people than any other group. Amendments Some amendments have been made to the Indian Act, including lifting of the ban on ceremonies and fundraising, permission to vote, and Bill C-31 to re-establish some First Nations status. Bill C-31 also reinstated those persons and their children who had previously lost status. In the current Act, there is no voluntary or involuntary enfranchisement and marriage is a neutral act: no one gains or loses status based on their gender. The Future The situation has been summarized very well by the lawyer, William Henderson in an article at 68
5 plain talk 5 seems out of step with the bulk of Canadian law. It singles out a segment of society, largely on the basis of race, it removes much of their land and property from the commercial mainstream, and gives the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada and other government offcials a degree of discretion that is not only intrusive but frequently offensive. The Act has been highly criticized on all sides. Many want it abolished because it violates expected standards of equality. Others want First Nations to be able to make their own decisions as self-governing peoples and they see the Act as inhibiting that freedom. Even within its provisions, people see unfair treatment; for example, First Nations who live on reserve and those who reside elsewhere. In short, this is a statute of which few speak well. An argument could be made that the Indian Act should simply be abolished. However, for complex reasons, the sudden disappearance of the Act could create even more problems. At the 2010 annual meeting of the Assembly of First Nations, National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo called on Ottawa to repeal the Indian Act within five years. He proposed replacing the law with a new arrangement that would allow all parties to move forward on land claims and resource sharing. 69
